Washington -LRB- CNN -RRB- -- With just days to go until a self-imposed deadline , fixes to the problem-plagued Obamacare website are `` definitely on track , '' Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Tuesday .

In a conference call with state and local officials , Sebelius added that `` this is n't a magic ` turn on the on switch ' '' to fix HealthCare.gov , but a continual process in which `` the experience is vastly improved each and every day . ''

`` We are definitely on track to have a significantly different user experience by the end of this month -- that was our commitment -- than people experienced on October 1 '' when the enrollment website launched , she said .

`` We 've added hardware , we 've added software ; we 're continuing to work on the parts of the website that were too confusing to people , '' Sebelius continued , urging the officials `` to not hesitate to recommend that people go to HealthCare.gov and get signed up because that experience is currently working much better and it will continue to work much better . ''

On Monday , a White House spokesman said the administration would meet President Barack Obama 's goal of having the website working for the `` vast majority '' of users by November 30 .

Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters that the tech team working on HealthCare.gov has increased the site 's capacity , boosting it to a level of 50,000 `` concurrent '' users .

Recurring breakdowns , error messages and delays botched the federal web portal rollout on October 1 , opening the President 's signature health care reform effort to new and fierce Republican criticism while questions about the administration 's ability to manage the sweeping health insurance overhaul .

The GOP opposition targets the entire 2010 Affordable Care Act , not just the website woes , as the ultimate example of big government run amok . In particular , they accuse Obama and Democrats of having lied when they pledged that people could keep health coverage they liked .

Cancellation notices to some private policy holders -- a tiny percentage compared to the overall number of Americans who get their coverage through their employers or government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid -- fueled the Republican charges .

In response , Obama said insurers can choose to continue offering canceled policies , even if they failed to meet new requirements under the health care reforms .

At the same time , he defended the overall goal of Obamacare to make make affordable health coverage available to millions of previously uninsured or under-insured Americans .

On Tuesday , Obama repeated his criticism of Republicans who seek to dismantle the reforms instead of working with the White House and Democrats to fix any problems and build on them .

`` We 'd be a lot further along if we could just get folks to act with some sense , if we did n't have one wing of one party that was a little less obsessed with repealing health care for 40 million people , more concerned with making sure the law works , '' he said in remarks during a visit to the Dreamworks Studio in California .

Enrollment figures for the first month after the opening of the new health insurance exchanges under Obamacare were much lower than initially expected . Now some states have reported stronger numbers , and Sebelius said Tuesday that more people were signing up daily .

She declined to provide any specifics , even when asked by a local official on the call for a demographic breakdown on who was signing up . Such details were n't yet available , Sebelius said .

According to a CNN count based on available figures , just over 200,000 people have signed up for new private health insurance under Obamacare -- either through the national system or networks set up in 14 states and the District of Columbia .

The enrollment period runs until March 31 , and officials have said the target for the first year was seven million people .

In addition , more than 370,000 have signed up for Medicaid under state programs expanded through the health care reforms , the CNN count shows .

Sebelius told the conference call with state and local officials that Improvements to HealthCare.gov would continue beyond December 1 .

She urgent the officials to continue their efforts to spread information in their communities to help people enroll for Affordable Care Act coverage , saying : `` You tap into local events , you know the communities better than anyone , you know the targets for high numbers of uninsured and under-insured folks who live in your area , and I think that partnership is just hugely important .
